Puffed Rice Treats
I really REALLY wanted rice crispy treats, but I wanted to take a healthier approach to the traditional snack. So I used all natural puffed rice cereal instead. They came out really good! And at 55 calories a square, they're virtually guilt-free! (As long as you can resist eating the whole pan!) What you need: - 6 cups…

Vibram Five Fingers
Does anyone have a pair? Do you love them/hate them? What kind of activities do you use them for? How have they held up over time? I want this kind for my birthday!

The Seven Stages of MFP
This is just a bit of silliness I thought up. It's like the seven stages of grief, but applied to how I feel about MFP! I hope it motivates some of you! :-D I think I'm between 5 and 6 right now. 1. Denial You enter your calories for the first time thinking, "I eat pretty well. This shouldn't be so bad!" Only to realize…

Eight Cups of Water?
I've been trying really hard to drink the recommended 8 cups of water each day. It's hard for me! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE water. It is my preferred beverage. But it makes me have to go to the bathroom every one or two hours. It's very uncomfortable. I've tried pacing it out, but even that wasn't helping. Yesterday I…

Yay! Yay! Yay!
I used to weigh myself everyday and now I'm trying to only do it once a week, but it's hard! It's like the scale calls out to me... Anyhoo, I've been on MFP for 11 days and have put in two weigh ins. I've lost 2.4 pounds with MFP so far!!! Which makes a total of 7.1 pounds lost since my heaviest in November! HOORAY!! I…

Measuring Your Food
I was measuring out a snack last night and my boyfriend's brother made a stupid remark about how what I was doing was "taking it too far" and how "unhealthy" it was. I tried to tell him that counting calories is important to me and he made an even stupider remark about how he was "more healthy" than I am! (Which is…

My Before Picture
I got brave and put on my bikini and took a before picture turn around. Ugh! An eye opener for sure! :blushing: (This bikini fit me once... Waaah!) If you have a before picture you want to share, please do! Then we can all come back later when we have some progress and/or after pictures and cheer each other on!

Should I stuff my face?
I went to my first swim aerobics class today! And I have 390 calories left!!! I know according to MFP I should eat them, but I just ate dinner so I'm not hungry. Also, it's 9pm so I feel like I shouldn't eat anything else so late? Is it okay if I don't eat them this one time and plan to eat a bit more on the days I have…

Hooray!
I discovered MyFitnessPal today! I've been using a different fitness tracking website for about a week, but I didn't like it. This one is much more user friendly and it has an active community!! Soooo excited! :-D I want to lose about 20 pounds. I hope I can achieve this in a year (or less!). Keeping track of what I eat…
